Question

Collection of cells that help to protect the root apical meristem ___________. Protect the area of cell division in the root ________. Senses gravity in order to help the root determine the direction of growth _________-. An outgrowth from the root's zone of cellular maturation ________. Where actual water and mineral absorption happens in roots ___________ Increase surface area of roots for efficiant water and nutrient absorption.

Answer 1

Answer:

Collection of cells that help to protect the root apical meristem root cap. Protect the area of cell division in the root - root cap. Senses gravity in order to help the root determine the direction of growth  - root cap. An outgrowth from the root's zone of cellular maturation - root hair. Where actual water and mineral absorption happens in roots root hair. Increase surface area of roots for efficiant water and nutrient absorption - root hair.

Explanation:

ROOT CAP- The root cap is a type of tissue that covers the tip of the root. It's also known as Calyptra. The root caps contain statocytes, which are involved in plant gravity perception. . The root will expand in a random pattern if the cap is carefully removed. In plants, the root cap covers the developing tip. In plants, the root cap covers the developing tip. It secretes mucilage to help the root pass through the soil more quickly, and it may also interact with the soil microbiota.

The root cap's function is to allow the root to develop downward while protecting the sensitive tissue in the root.

ROOT HAIR-  A root hair, or absorbent hair, is a tubular outgrowth of a trichoblast, a hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root. It is located on the rhizoid of a vascular plant. Branched lateral extensions of a single cell are only seen on rare occasions. They are visible with both the naked eye and a light microscope. They can only be found in the root's maturation zone. Phosphorylase activity is increased just before and during the growth of root hair cells. Osmosis is the process by which plants extract water from the soil. Root hair cells have evolved to speed up osmosis by having a wide surface area. They also have a big permanent vacuole, which is another adaptation.
